The Sunlight Foundation’s legislative and executive branch agendas broadly address areas in which greater transparency is needed to ensure public access to vital government information. They make specific recommendations to improve transparency in lobbying, money in politics and government data.

Below is a collection of “one-pagers” outlining opportunities for reform. The documents detail proposed legislation, executive orders and other White House action, and agency rules changes.

These papers provide greater detail on some of our legislative and executive branch agenda items. Sunlight has also made recommendations for House and Senate Rules changes. More detail and analysis on some of our top priorities can be found on our lobbying and money in politics reform pages.
